Reconditioned Volkswagen Bora 1.6 Gearbox – Reference DNZ

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for the petrol Volkswagen Bora 1.6, with a 1595 cm³ engine capacity, compatible with engine codes AKL, APF, AEH, AVU and BFQ, and referenced DNZ. Reconditioning involves a full strip-down of the gearbox, thorough cleaning and inspection of every internal component, followed by replacement of all wear parts: gears, synchros, bearings and seals. The unit is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch, ensuring reliable performance from the moment it is fitted. This complete overhaul restores the gearbox to a condition close to that of a new unit.

Signs That Your Manual Gearbox Needs Replacing

On a Bora 1.6 fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, certain symptoms point to advanced wear: increasingly stiff gear changes, crunching when engaging second or third gear, jumping out of gear under acceleration, a dull noise in neutral, or vibrations felt through the gear lever. A neutral that refuses to engage cleanly, or a smell of burning oil from underneath the vehicle, are also warning signs not to be ignored. Unusual resistance when selecting reverse, or a lever that has become vague and imprecise, round off the list of symptoms to watch out for.

Exchange Basis: Keep Your Garage Running

This DNZ-referenced gearbox is dispatched immediately on an exchange basis. It is sent out before your old gearbox is collected, so the garage is never left without a part and the vehicle is not off the road waiting for a return. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected after the reconditioned unit has been delivered and fitted. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. This arrangement avoids any interruption to work, whether for a trade customer or a private individual.

Compatibility

This gearbox is compatible with 1.6 petrol engines identified by engine codes AKL, APF, AEH, AVU and BFQ, fitted to the Volkswagen Bora. Always check that your vehicle's engine code matches this list before placing your order.

Warranty and Payment

This gearbox comes with a 24-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments, with up to 10 instalments available.

EDEN BOITES supports you from quote through to collection of the old unit.
